Running Light Node

[https://www.mintair.xyz/dashboard](https://www.mintair.xyz/dashboard) (Cost: $9.99)

\- You can run the node using Mintair, There're cheaper methods (~$7). But this seems to be the easiest.

\- First connect MM, and fill in sign up details. Enter this code: SOLE-X0XX for 5% discount

\- After that, Click on dashboard, Select Nubit and make the payment using CopperX/NowPayment. Both options allow you pay using crypto

\- After successful payment click go back to mintair and click on "Active Nodes". Click on Show Config and Backup your Private Key & Mnemonic (Seed Phrase). After copy your Node public key and return to Nubit Alpha page (Tagged/Message Above) and paste in step 3 of phase 2 (Wait for 15mins after making payment before doing this)

\- Farcaster node is also up for running btw, But theirs costs $50/m. I found a cheaper way to do it using ~$10 also (Will post later)

N.B: You only need to pay for 1 month, As you only need to run it at least until July 24th
